The Mighty Mite

That’s true but he was fixed, they read him the riot act and if he didn’t do what they wanted he was going back to the Minors for good.

If the Sox ever decide to trade Colson, you just know that his new team would fix him like the Brewers fixed Vaughn.

Aranda is a good ballplayer.

Let’s hope.

If only we could Colson to do the same, he has the power to go to left and center.

MUNE!

Could be stressful for them.

Rays with their old Devil Rays unis tonight which stink. Their city connect unis are horrible.

We need Colson and Peters to get back on track.

Lots of Sox fans in area going back to the 1950s when the Sox spring trained in Tampa and then of course Sarasota. I’m still pissed at JR for moving ST from Florida to Arizona among about 100 other things.

Cost was about 55 million but insurance covered most of it.

BENI BOMB

I’m still deciding if we are going up there on Sunday, driving these days on I-75 is brutal.

Especially at the Trop, a lot of fly ball adventures.

And Ant hit the ball hard.

Maybe it’s Tiger Math

Colson is just lost.

Vargas is back!

I see Colson is back in the clean up spot tonight, a mistake in my book.

Some of the crowds down through the years at Sox park have been embarrassingly small in April and May mainly because of some of the frigid days. I’m sort of anti dome but if I knew attendance would increase dramatically in April and May because of a dome I would be all for it, I’m sure Ishbia could afford the extra bucks.

I was at the July 31, 1977 DH and after we won the first game, Comiskey went insane, I probably attended close to 200 games at the old park and that day had to be the noisiest ever at old Comiskey , we were sitting way out in left center field in the upper deck and I thought Comiskey was going to come tumbling down as the 50,412 in attendance were so loud and delirious the place was shaking. It’s a shame we didn’t win that 2nd game which would have given us the 4 game sweep and IIRC a 7 game lead. Things went downhill from there as the Sox were under .500 for August and September and they finished in 3rd but what a ride those first 4 months of the 1977 season were, Comiskey Park was the place to be that summer in Chicago.

Yep, we’re not firing on all the cylinders right now, if we get Vargas, Colson and Peters going again we should make a WC fairly easily.

Sox are playing at a .528 clip which projects to 86 wins. I also did a series by series prediction and came up with 85 wins, that should be enough for a WC spot and maybe the division. With 54 games left if they won half which would be 27-27 they would go 84-78. With only 2 teams in the AL that are probably going to win 90+ games I think we can do this and make the playoffs especially if we trade for a starter and a catcher. Should be quite a ride.

Yeah that game we blew to the Astros was the difference.

Outstanding to come back and split the series.
